You want to know what it’s like to list and sell with me? Let’s go through the steps, shall we?

1. You need to own a property (just thought I’d state the obvious).
2. You want/need to sell it (sometimes people don’t want to sell, but they have to. It happens).
3. You fill out a seller’s intake form (below) to tell me all the juicy details of the property.
4. I take a look at comparable properties that have sold, expired, and are currently listed to determine a reasonable list price (I really don’t like listing high, and I can explain why it’s a bad idea).
5. You clean, dejunk, declutter, stage, and do whatever else we need to do to prepare your house for selling.
6. I take photos
7. We post it on realtor.ca.
8. You accommodate showings.
9. I get feedback on showings to see what potential buyers think of your place so we know if we need to change the price or anything about the condition of it.
10. We get an offer.
11. We negotiate all terms and conditions until the offer is accepted (or until it dies and goes away, which is sometimes depressing and sometimes a good thing).
12. We wait for the buyers to remove conditions.
13. We celebrate with ice cream!
14. We wait for closing day (possession).
15. You pack up the place.
16. You take the money and run. Hooray!

Well, here’s the form. Let’s do this!
